“The inaugural D&I Awards were a huge success, recognising the outstanding initiatives that are shaping a more inclusive future across WA,” says CCIWA CEO Peter Cock.
“I encourage all businesses and organisations to nominate for the D&I Awards to showcase the positive impact of their work in this important space.”
